"Having used “spot the dot” with the 10U girls softball program I see that by having the batters focus on seeing the colored dot, it greatly improves the batter’s focus on the ball with each pitch. We ask our players repeatedly to “keep their eye on the ball” and spot the dot facilitates this immeasurably. Batting averages have improved and the girls have become more confident at the plate."
- Coach Martin Shapiro
"Spot the Dot is a great tool for all hitters. It allows for players to work on their vision training, which can never be done enough. Spot the Dot trains players to recognize colors and then react. Just like in the game of softball we must recognize the pitch and then react to hit. I would encourage all hitters to take advantage of Spot the Dot balls in their hitting routine."
- Assistant Coach, San Diego State University
"I've been coaching for 5 years. We've always used training stations during practice. One of the girls favorite stations is Spot the Dot. One of our drills using Spot the Dot is having a coach or player pitch the Spot the Dot balls while the catcher has to call out the color of the Spot the Dot ball. We keep a time log for each girl, and every practice the girls try to beat their previous average time. All the Spot the Dot drills really keep the girls attention."
- Coach Anna Hoffman
